The correct Answer is:
To determine the coagulating power of the given salts (NaCl, BaCl₂, and AlCl₃) on a colloidal solution, we need to consider the valency of the cations present in these salts and how they affect coagulation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Coagulation**: Coagulation is the process where colloidal particles aggregate to form larger particles, which can then settle out of the solution. The coagulating power of a substance is influenced by the charge and valency of the ions present. 2. **Identifying Cations and Their Valencies**: - **NaCl**: Contains Na⁺ (valency = 1) - **BaCl₂**: Contains Ba²⁺ (valency = 2) - **AlCl₃**: Contains Al³⁺ (valency = 3) 3. **Relation Between Valency and Coagulating Power**: The coagulating power of a cation is directly proportional to its valency. Higher valency cations have a greater ability to neutralize the charge on colloidal particles, leading to more effective coagulation. 4. **Ranking the Cations**: - Al³⁺ (from AlCl₃) has the highest valency (3), thus it has the highest coagulating power. - Ba²⁺ (from BaCl₂) has the second highest valency (2), thus it has moderate coagulating power. - Na⁺ (from NaCl) has the lowest valency (1), thus it has the least coagulating power. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the valency of the cations, the coagulating power of the salts can be ranked as follows: - **AlCl₃ > BaCl₂ > NaCl** ### Final Answer: The coagulating power of the salts in order is: **AlCl₃ > BaCl₂ > NaCl** ---

The colloidal particles are electrically charged as a indicated by their migration towards cathode or anode under the applied electric field. In a particular colloidal system, all particles carry either positive charge or negative charge. The electric charge on colloidal particles orginate in several ways. According to preferential adsorption theory, the freshly obtained precipitate particles adsorb ions from the dispersion medium, which are common to their lattice and acquire the charge of adsorbed ions. For example, For example, freshly obtained Fe(OH)_(3) precipitated is dispersed, by a little FeCl_(3) , into colloidal solution owing to the adsorption of Fe^(3+) ions in preference. Thus sol particles will be positively charged. In some cases the colloidal particles are aggregates of cations or anions having ampiphilic character. When the ions posses hydrophobic part (hydrocarbon end) as well as hydrophilic part (polar end group), they undergo association in aqueous solution to form particles having colloidal size. The formation of such particles, called micelles plays a very important role in the solubilization of water insoluble substances, (hydrocarbon, oils, fats, grease etc.). In micelles, the polar end groups are directed towards water and the hydrocarbon ends into the centre. The charge on sol particles of proteins depends on the pH. At low pH, the basic group of protein molecule is ionized (protonated) and at higher pH (alkaline medium), the acidic group is ionized. At isoelectric pH, characteristic to the protein, both basix and acidic groups are equally ionized. The stability of colloidal solution is attributed largely to the electric charge of the dispersed particles. This charge causes them to be coagulated or precipitated. On addition of small amount of electrolytes, the ions carrying oppiste charge are adsorbed by sol particles resulting in the neutralization of their charge. When the sol particles either with no charge or reduced charge, come closer due to Brownian movement, they coalesce to form bigger particles resulting in their separation from the dispersion medium. This is what is called coagulating or precipitation of the colloidal solution. The coagulating power of the effective ion, which depend on its charge, is expressed in terms of its coagulating value, defined as its minimum concentration (m mol/L) needed to precipitate a given sol. Under the influence of an electric field, the particles in a sol migrate towards cathode. The coagulation of the same sol is studied using NaCl, Na_(2)SO_(4) and Na_(3)PO_(4) solutions.

coagultion is the process by which the dispersed phase of a colloid is made to aggregate and thereby separtate from the continuous phase. The minimum concetration of an eletrolyte in milli-moles per litre of the electrolyte solution which required to cause the caogultion of colloidal sol is called coagution value . therefroe higher is the coagulatings power of effective ion, smaller will be the coagultion value of the electrolyte. coagultion value propto = 1/("coagulating power") the coagulation values of differnt electrolytes are different . this behavious can be easily uderstood by Harby - schulze rule which states. the greater is the valency of the effective ion grreater is its coagulating power," which one had the highest coagulating powe?
